This incident is recorded in the "Wan Li Ye Zhi Zhi", which is about Princess Yongchun's choice of horses.
After zhu Yuanzhang founded the people's republic of China, he made a stipulation that all the horses chosen by the princess must come from low-level officials or ordinary people's homes.
When Princess Yongchun came to pick a horse, naturally she could not make an exception.
Speaking of which, Princess Yongchun's father, Zhu Youfu, was only a clan king, and she was not qualified to be a princess.

However, the emperor at that time was Emperor Mingwuzong Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao should have been a good emperor, but unfortunately, under the seduction of a group of eunuchs, he indulged in wine and coveted pleasures, and rarely asked about the affairs of the government. As a result, he was young and played with himself.
Since Zhu Houzhao had no heirs, the ministers of the DPRK and The Central Government deliberated and finally unanimously elected Zhu Youzhao's son Zhu Houxi to succeed to the throne.
At this time, it had been 2 years since Zhu Youzhuo's death.
Soon after Zhu Houxi succeeded to the throne, there was a contradiction with the courtiers about "great etiquette". He still honored Zhu Youfu as emperor, while his birth mother, Jiang Shi, was honored as empress dowager.
Princess Yongchun and Zhu Houxi were both born to The Jiang clan, the difference between the two was only 4 years old, and when Zhu Youqiu died, Princess Yongchun was an 8-year-old child, so Zhu Houxi especially loved her.
In the blink of an eye, Princess Yongchun reached the age of marriage, and Zhu Houxi hoped to choose a talented and high-class horse for her to match her, so she urged the Ceremonial Department to be cautious when choosing a horse.
The officials of the Ministry of Ceremonies did not dare to be sloppy, and after some careful selection, they finally selected an excellent teenager named Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao is talented, and he was born with a dignified appearance, and his family is also a middle-class and upper-class family. In short, all aspects of the conditions are very satisfactory to Zhu Houxi. So he circled his name, intending to make him a donkey.
Who knew that there was an official named Yu Demin, who was a fellow villager with Chen Zhao and was at odds with the Chen family. Therefore, he immediately played two things about Chen Zhao to Zhu Houxi: first, Chen Zhao's family had a history of genetic diseases, and most of the men died early; second, Chen Zhao's birth mother was a concubine, and before marrying Chen Zhao's father, she had already married someone, and was a woman with moral loss and unchaste.
When Yu Demin said this, the other ministers of the DPRK and The Chinese People's Government also responded to the peace one after another, saying that how could such a terrible family be worthy of a princess with golden branches and jade leaves?
Of course, the officials who handled this matter did not want to bear the charge of failing to do things, so they tried their best to exonerate Chen Zhao. The dispute between the two was very fierce, and the quarrel made Zhu Houxi lose his temper, and finally punished several ministers before it was settled. However, such a disturbance completely eliminated Chen Zhao's opportunity to be a donkey.

The second time to choose a pony, for the sake of safety, the rebbe, after thousands of selections, reported three people to Zhu Houxi.
This time, Zhu Houxi also for the sake of safety, he did not make his own decisions, but very democratically summoned the empress dowager, harem concubines and palace eunuchs to the front of the palace, so that they could see each other together, who was the most suitable horse for Princess Yongchun.
Of the three, the high school element is the most eye-catching.
High School Yuan and Princess Yongchun were the same age, standing there in the wind of the Yushu, with a sense of elegance. Look at him born with a face like Fu powder, red lips and white teeth, and he is a handsome little handsome man with a rich god.
The second is Xie Zhao.
Xie Zhao and Gao Zhongyuan are both from Henan, and Xie Zhao's appearance is a little worse than that of high school Yuan, but because he is the oldest of the 3 people, his personality is also the most stable.
After everyone looked at him, they were most satisfied with the high school yuan, thinking that he was worthy of Princess Yongchun.
Zhu Houxi also had this intention.
Who knew that empress dowager Jiang Shi had put forward a different opinion, and she believed that Xie Zhao should be chosen as a donkey.
The feudal dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety, even if everyone is satisfied with the high school yuan, but the empress dowager Jiang Shi spoke, then Zhu Houxi absolutely did not dare to disagree, so Xie Zhao became the final big winner.
Everyone never expected that Xie Zhao was actually a half-bald man. His thin and stretched hair, according to Princess Yongchun, could not tie up a bun.
However, when everyone knew, Xie Zhao had already visited Princess Yongchun and could not regret it.
Princess Yongchun had long heard the palace eunuchs talk about high school yuan, and in everyone's praise, Princess Yongchun inevitably had a very good impression of high school yuan. Now that she was actually married to Xie Zhao, who had no hair, it was really wronged. However, he did not dare to look for the emperor and the empress dowager, so he could only scatter a stomach on Xie Zhao.
Xie Zhao did not dare to offend Princess Yongchun, and could only listen to her numbers and remain considerate to her.

After a few years, he entered the high school and became famous for his literary talents in the Hanlin Academy.
When Princess Yongchun heard this news, she saw that Xie Zhao was more and more unpleasant. He often complained about himself and lamented that he could not get a talented and good-looking person like a high school student to be a donkey.
Xie Zhao was very clever, and he knew that if he continued to develop according to this momentum, his future life would not be able to pass, so he feasted on his fellow villagers in the name of He Zhongqiu, including high school yuan.
Xie Zhao specially showed the list of invitations to Princess Yongchun and told her about the family banquet.
Princess Yongchun said on her lips that this had nothing to do with her, but in her heart she was very happy because she could see the legendary high school yuan.
On the day of the banquet, Princess Yongchun deliberately walked outside the door of the banquet, looked into the room through the window ledge, and just when someone on the table toasted to the high school yuan, Princess Yongchun took a look and inhaled a cool breath.
It turned out that after the baptism of years, the high school yuan had grown into a tall white fat man. And with a lush beard on his face, he looks very different from the legendary small fresh meat, which is simply ugly.
Looking at Xie Zhao around the high school yuan, because he has been living a life of pampering and excellence, not only is he still in shape, but he also has a little more elegance on his face.
Since then, Princess Yongchun's temper has changed, and she has been gentle with Xie Zhao, and the two have lived happily ever since.
